Guild Wars 2

No, while some of what he said is true, Anet’s actions after that video certainly prove they have no clue what they’re doing.

How does removing our stun-breakers have anything to do with being forced into arcane and water traits? (Cleansing Flame, Lightning Flash).

We are not the jack of all trades. Anet hasn’t the slightest clue about how to balance us, and are pigeon-holing us into a support class, hence the recent notes about staff and conjures. Our dps has the potential to match a warriors, at the cost of 14k hp and less than 2k armor. As a bunker build, our dps is abysmal, and any good player can simply outheal our dps.

That video was made 2 months ago, and was to the response of the forums criticizing Anet for the changes to Ele’s in sPvP and WvW. Notice how he talks mainly about PvE, about stats we should be using, and not once steps into WvW or a sPvP match. Talk is cheap.

Well, they found a way to move us away from water by making us weaker. Speccing in to water was only useful when you were able to get out of trouble for 2 seconds to get them heals of.
Fix: Nerf mobility to the ground and remove stunbreakers so healing is not so accessible anymore and speccing for it becomes useless.
Now ppl spec for air instead of water, they even use earth for them extra 10% damage!!!
Isn´t that GREAT? People even use focus now.

They fixed it by destroying an allready sub-par professions disengage and survivability, so the only option is going all in and trying to face mash stuff before it gets an auto of, because that auto will prolly kill you (engi 1 with sigills and traits → 2 bleeds, burning, poison → half health if you don´t pop heal to cleanse it all).

They basically shifted fixed what they said theyd fix by making the class so bad the problematic options are no longer viable.

GG anet, lookin forward to next ele nerfs and double warrior mace stun duration!
